Product safety management – Responsibilities & organisation - #MGT020

• European Directive 2001/95/EC, along with the amendments introduced by Regulation 2023/988 of 10 May 2023, requires manufacturers to ensure product compliance.
• In France, these obligations are primarily incorporated in Article L421-3 of the Commercial Code.
• Product safety is a strategic concern for any company, carrying legal responsibilities for the organization and potential criminal liability for individuals.
• Ensuring product safety does not simply mean producing items that meet technical specifications.
• It applies to all industrial products, not only those with a safety-related function.
• Addressing these strategic challenges requires the strengthening of organizational processes.

• Discover the regulatory context and understand the requirements in terms of product safety.
• Understand the legal and penal responsibilities involved in product safety, and how to protect yourself from them.
• Understand why this liability may arise even though the product is in compliance with the specifications.
• Understand the role of the PSCR required by German car manufacturers.
• Discover how to carry out preventive market surveillance as one of the entry points to product safety.
• To know how to react in case of proven product safety risks.
• The scope of this training: industrial products intended for the general public, excluding food products, pharmaceuticals, medical devices.

• Members of the management team.
• Service/department managers.
• System auditors.
